My Fairie Child
Maria Ní Mhurchú
My little one
Where did you go to
Disappear from me
And fly away
To go to Tír na n-Óg
On the wings of a snow white dove
Where you left me hanging for so long
To a delicate silvery moon 🌙
That lit up your wings of gossamer
And pierced the turbulent dark night
Making shadows where I stand
Dreaming in the mist
Either of Spring or Summer
Every moment I’m awake…
These dreams go on forever
I walk across an empty land
My fairie- friend
Is this the place we loved
To take a candle
And light it
From a falling star 🌟
But I rely on you to come back
To come back to me
And rekindle my fire 🔥
Or is this the end of everything
Can we go somewhere
Only we know
My fairie friend
Of yore
